If you hold your finger as to archive the book, if you touch the archive icon, then the borrowed book’s icon WILL disappear from the ipad kindle app list. Thanks to all above for help. I had been going nuts trying to clean up my list to show only books that are current.

Parents found Little Tree(albeit boring) to be “inoffensive” — even though the author, Forrest “Asa” Carter, was a “virulent segregationist, former Klansman, speechwriter for George Wallace and professional racist”* who posed as a “Cherokee cowboy, self-taught writer and spokesman for Native Americans” to write a (now known to be fictitious) “gentle memoir of his Native American childhood.”**

So … they’d rather have their kids read a made-up memoir by a white supremacist than an acclaimed novel about life as a Native American teenager, written by someone who isn’t just posing as a Native American?

I’m not going to read any further. I don’t want to spend the rest of my evening with a headache after slamming my skull on my desk.

How potentially draconian legislation is just one country
( the USA )
can effect the freedom of people to communicate & share
information throughout the world.

2.
How such an action as pulling a webpage for a day is a really fine
example of Nonviolent protest.

Well done Jessamyn !
